The results of this work are being published in the BMR Bulletin series accompanied by 1:1 000 000 lithofacies maps of the shelf sediments. Three sheets (Rowley Shoals, W.A.2; Scott Reef, W.A.2 ; and Arafura Sea, N.T.8 ) have been printed by early 1974, and work on two further sheets covering part of the east Australian continental shelf is well advanced. Users of the map should refer to Bulletin 83 (GeoCat # 163) to assist in interpretation. For instance, wide areas of the shelf are non-depositional, or even subject to erosion, and therefore the variations in lithology portrayed are not exclusively the result of variations in the modern depositional regime. Also the map does not distinguish sediments which are relics of earlier regimes from modern ones; however, some information of the distribution of these older sediments can be obtained from Bulletin 83 (GeoCat # 163) and inferred from a study of the gravel content in relation to the bathymetry.Commonwealth of Australia (Geoscience Australia)ownerCommonwealth of Australia (Geoscience Australia)02 6249 996602 6249 9960Cnr Jerrabomberra Ave and Hindmarsh DrGPO Box 378CanberraACT2601Australiasales@ga.gov.aucustodianasNeededGA PublicationBulletinmarinethemecontinental marginsthemeEarth SciencesAustralian and New Zealand Standard Research Classification (ANZSRC)2008-03-31+11:00publicationAustralian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Latestproducts/1297.0Main%20Features32008?opendocument&tabname=Summary&prodno=1297.0&issue=2008&num=&view=owner9780642483584otherRestrictionslicenselicenseotherRestrictionsCreative Commons Attribution 3.0 Australia Licenceunclassified1000000engutf8geoscientificInformation123.0131.0-16.0-8.0pdfUnknownGeoscience Australia+61 2 6249 9966+61 2 6249 9960GPO Box 378CanberraACT2601Australiasales@ga.gov.audistributoronLinehttp://www.ga.gov.au/corporate_data/111/Bull_083A.pdfWWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--downloadBull_083A.pdfDownload the file (pdf) [10 MB]downloadhttp://www.ga.gov.au/metadata-gateway/metadata/record/163/WWW:LINK-1.0-http--linkRelated product: Bulletin 163 - Morphology and sediments of the Timor SeaRelated product: Bulletin 163 - Morphology and sediments of the Timor SeainformationdatasetUnknownunclassified
